Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is software available to use on the phone to edit video that been shot on the phone ...? Something like imovie for the iphone but for the desire..
Thanks.
So from the lack of response I take it that’s a no then..!
Shame I thought the HTC Desire was a superior phone to the iPhone yet the iPhone has this app and the HTC doesn’t..?
Can the desire's hardware not handle an app like that or is it that just no one’s bothered to make or port one yet..?
After 1 month with Desire HD, I think i like it but there are these 3 things that are really annoying:
1. Camera:
Very limited functionality/adjustment.
Small sensor (my guess) -> can't get a good picture of moving subject (I am not talking about lighting fast moving subject, just for example baby movement).
2. Video:
Very limited file formats can be played back.
Third party players (rockplayer, vplayer) can play some but still not all, especially mkv...very very very laggy.....
Lagging can also occasionally occur during playback of some avi/divx too?
3. Sound/speaker:
This is the worst.
I am comparing the above with the Samsung Galaxy S........quite disappointed.
so here is my 2 cents question:
Does anyone know whether a firmware upgrade can fix the above issues or it's more like a hardware things?
Is it possible that we can use/port the Samsung Galaxy S Camera/Video/Sound firmware/apk on the Desire HD to improve it??????
Many Thanks in advance
There are quite a few threads round here regarding the camera. Have you tried adjusting the ISO? Having it set on "Auto" is a recipe for disaster, the same goes for the white balance.
Check to see if there are any OTA updates available.
You are right. The Desire HD is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. Unfortunately Telus gave it to me as a replacement while my Galaxy S is being repaired.
Sound is godawful. I hooked up my quality headphones to the Desire HD and can't get any real volume. The sound is completely garbled and half the lyrics are not understandable. I've tried stock settings, using the Dolby and using SRS as well as playing with the equalizer. The sound just plain sucks. It is totally unusable. I'm not an audiophile so I'm perplexed that nobody else has mentioned these issues. Or perhaps there is a solution I'm not aware of.
Second really annoying problem is that I can't delete hotmail emails... they just pop back on the next sync. What gives?
I seriously don't understand how HTC expects to thrive when they put out crap like this. Doesn't anybody believe in quality anymore? Maybe my expectations are just too high, the iphone JUST WORKS and Samsung's Galaxy was a beautiful implementation of Android. Guess I'll just have to wait for my Galaxy to get back or buy the new SGSII. Having an original HTC Diamond and now the problems with the Desire HD, I swear this company should be bankrupt. I'll never pay for one of their phones again.
I agree with seamus24. My friend has Samsung galaxy S II and checked the sound quality. It really better then Desire HD. Is HTC listening ????

Sorry to admit as an avid user of HTCs...the DHD camera is not as good as the Desire, just remember that megapixels is not everything...noise control on the Desire is excellent, overall producing better photo than DHD. I jumped the ship after playing with the SGS2...camera is very low noise, super sharp...also offered 1080 recording as well...
The video player is limited by copyrights and licenses for format playbacks etc and obviously hardware of the DHD. Not to blame, in most cases it can play converted 720 videos without too much issues with the exclusion of MPEG formats IIRC.
Speakers, well that was **** a bit ****, I still firmly believe that the Desure was a better phone, the audio quality on it I believe was better, in comparison again to the SGS2, well there is no competition...DHD<Desire<SGS2
@OP, even if porting was possible, I fear that the archilles heels is based on the actual hardware of the camera, processor (CPU and GPU) and speaker. All of which cannot be changed or upgraded. There is only so much firmware updates can enable slight improvements. Whilst CPU can be OCed, I believe I read from fellow DHD DEV LordClockan that the GPU on the DHD cannot be OCed. Speakers, even with the enhancement from BEATS, very little can be done through software equalisers...trust me, there are people *****ing and moaning about how bad the SGS2 sound quality in comparison to SGS at the SGS2 XDA Forum...they dont actually know how bad DHD is then...but still...borrowing a DHD at the moment...missed SenseUI hahaha...

I'm assuming that's a blu-ray rip you're trying to play on your device? or just another .mkv file (for the quality of picture you get on it)
I tried playing 'Avatar' 2.26GB - blu-ray ripped to a mkv file. Had to take the battery out to restart the phone. I work for a telco, so I tried it on several other DHDs - same result.
Worked like a charm on the SGSII though. I'm assuming, the DHD can only do so much.
Hi guys, i want to buy htc one v. requirements are quite normal.
1. good telephone.
2. good camera.
3. great music sound and fm radio.
gsmarena confirmed all three for htc one v. So i was on positive notes about one V.
But reading the problems of yellow tint, pixels etc. i have second thoughts.
can you please tell me what are the problems in your htc one v..so i can make good judgment whether to buy it or not.

1. Perfect but some people have Death Grip problem but i think there is a soln.
2. Video recording is awesome and pictures are quite good..
3. Music sound ofc BEATS AUDIO but loudspeaker is just decent...FM Radio is perfect...
The only issue I have is Death Grip, but it is very annoying. Hope in a sw solution...
cool
ok cool..
yeah..i have seen some of the threads with death grip and their solution.
So, only couple thing which are still bothering me are the yellow spot and light leak.
I will be buying the htc one v from local shop. so i can check for these problems.
the question is HOW? is there any specific way i can check for yellow spot? cause light leak from screen can be identified (from touch buttons and near usb plugin)
i also heard that htc ppl said, there was problem with first few batches of mobiles and then these problems were resolved. So, anyone from India here who bought this piece recently..can you confirm your device does not have these issues?
thanks in advance..
I have no complaints about this phone. It leaks light a little from the USB port but only someone looking for it in the dark would notice.
Hey buddy i jst bought myslf a one v and trust me da report is super positive.......evrything inclding camera ,music, android 4.0,looks......all are amzing....u shud buy one....

yep, camera is good
there is expamples:
I'll just be talking about software since I have the t328w, brother of the One V (same exact specs, better design IMO) but here:
PROS:
+VERY fast and fluid UI
+Very Nice Screen (Colour and sharpness wise)
+ICE CREAM SANDWHICH
CONS:
-Beats® Audio is the most overrated POS ever,sorry, but I am sort of an audiophile, and sadly even my iPod touch has better sound quality, it just makes the music more louder with increased Bass (but not THAT much either), and the music through beats (or I guess through this phone) has no atmosphere, it sounds to flat, and equalizers only make it worse by muffling out sounds while increasing others
-Camera is only so so, quality is good, but not great, same with video camera, and night shots are just horrible
-Emulators have sound issues (both Gameboid and Snesoid)
-Not that powerful in general (atleast for the specs it has) when it comes to gaming performance, though quadrant performance is amazing (even though the score I get it ~1400, but it feels like it should be atleast ~1850

i have htc one v and there are no problems with it.:d
No review site ever complained of deathgrip and gsmarena.com specifically tested for it. My phone doesn't have this problem. I've had it for over a month now and have never dropped a call, even here in Cambodia where the system is less than perfect. But a couple people here say they do.
I think calling the problem deathgrip is an exaggeration, if it even exists in the One V.
With my phone, wifi receptivity does change depending upon the position of the device, but this is common to many other small devices and is only a nuisance when on the edge of the signal's reasonable range.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I really like my One V and have no buyer's remorse. It's a great device.

On Beats +1. It's a junk gimmick that ruins the sound, especially if you listen to anything beside rock or rap.
On the camera, I don't agree. For the price range, it's a very good snapper. No camera phone or point & shoot camera does well in low light.
i got htc one v 4 days back nd m having wierd issues !!!!
the 'W' key on d virtul keyboard when d phone used vertically is nt responsive !!!

See my post in that thread - here
I only had the yellow spots issue. Now its receding.
Since both devices have the same HTC ImageChip DSP, they both should perform the same, right? Apparently no. According to PhoneArena, "The HTC One S takes slightly oversaturated photos with good contrast and amount of detail. The colors are colder in the case of the One X, and it has more accurate color representation with white balance a bit off in some shots." To me, the shots look better on the One S. You can check it here: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-One-X-vs-HTC-One-S_id3005/page/3
Any idea how to improve the one x's cam?

Hi mate, I havent heard the One S is better before, but shall take a read of that link.
But I have asked this question before, and didn't get an answer. (NOT HERE ON GOOGLE!)
I wanted to know, surely theres some tweaks etc you can perform to get the most out of the camera, but I'm no means a camera nerd and havent got a clue what makes a picture better, apart from MegaPixel and ive been told thats nothing to do with quality, just how big you can blow it up.
Anyone have any tips for improving the HTC One X cam?
**edit** : looked at your link.
I definately agree the HTC One S pictures are alot better. What gives?

Thanks mate, taken a look but I'm not on a custom ROM :/
I think im going to HAVE to root my device soon, once I get over the nerves of no warranty !!
Actually, I do know for sure that this is due to crappy JPEG compression. (You can use a third party app like Camera Zoom FX) But still if it is because of that, and the One S is using the SAME camera and software shouldn't it be about the same?

hi dudes...i had htc one x 1 month ago...i install any hq mode & other camera app...problem is not just about detail...it`s about pinky shadow...bad color balance..& dark & pink cover over all photos...in low light or outdoor light...there is no mod that can solve it..it`s hardware problem...i have htc one s now..& must say that it`s powerfull cameraphone...& results are same as iphone 4s & xperia s & better than galaxy s2 that hi had last year...
So Why is Xperia S video So stupidly soft! its not sharp! when comparing to any HD recording droid out there, Xperia S is the most soft! so no details there!
comparing to Galaxy S2 or 3 or HTC one S....
is it because the hardware? snappydragon S3 not so snappy after all ?( SnapdragonS3)
just angry here. camera on Sony is bad compared to other because stupid compression...so 12 Mpix is like 3 Mpix.
What you all think

videos from anything but sony is sharp. but sony is a Joke about video quality... why so much worse compared to any others... Well Xperia P is better at video 720p than XPS an photo too!\\
Its gottabe that retarded hardware?

Thats where we got pranked by sony.. Megapixel is just a marketing strategy..
Experts always say never go for the no. Of megapixel ..always see what lens they are using thats why Apple, HTC, Samsung have better camera even with 8mpx.. My sister's 4S has much much better picture quality than my XS!!

But why is it so that every single Other company drod is better is VIDEO quality eaven when its the same Bit rate???
sony video is way too soft, SGS 2 to compare is Really sharp! and pleasant to look so good, but Xperia S is just Resolution, but too soft to be 1080p Quality...
video too soft..., At least HTC has option to choose sharpness and contrast....sony has nothing...BS. WTF why? Cmon explain! Mystery?
